JWT Dubai leads in NewYork Festivals nominations
Mon, 2007-05-21 15:34 - By
Following it's big wins in regional advertising awards events, JWT Dubai has also emerged as the region's top agency in New York Festival's final stage of nominations, with six pieces across categories of the 2007 competition.
Chafic Haddad, Executive Creative Director, of JWT Dubai and his team are having a great year.
Last month, JWT Dubai earned the rare distinction of being the only agency in the region to be selected to appear in the highly respected D&AD Awards Annual 2007 for their work on a direct mailer for client AA paper. The D&AD award is universally acknowledged to be the advertising industry's most difficult award to win. At the recently concluded Dubai Lynx Awards, which took place on 19 March, 2007, JWT MENA was the most awarded network winning 1 Grand Prix (Outdoor), 3 Gold, 7 Silver, 7 Bronze and 68 shortlists.
'We are one family; everyone at JWT has an essential role that led to this kind of global acclaim. Without the work of the entire agency- from planners and client servicing to studio and production, we could not be as successful as we have been. Reaching the finals of this prestigious competition is a pat on the back for every member of the agency, and we celebrate these achievements as a unit,' says Haddad.
mediaME wishes the best of luck to JWT Dubai and every other agency from the Middle East who has been short listed, when the results are announced at the New York Festivals International Advertising Gala on 12 June.
Winners of the Dubai Lynx 2007 awards announced !
Mon, 2007-03-19 22:38 - By
mediaME.com attended the inaugural Dubai Lynx 2007 tonight, 19 March 2007, at the Dubai Media City and we would like to congratulate all the winners. The ceremony was attended by 1,200 marketing communications professionals, from all over the Middle East, but primarily from the UAE.
Dubai agencies swept the majority of the show's awards; with JWT Dubai, TEAM Y&R Dubai and Saatchi & Saatchi Dubai winning the most trophies.
Wunderman Dubai, TBWA/Raad, Tonic Comminications, Lowe MENA, JWT Cairo, Fortune Promoseven Dubai and Impact BBDO also had significant wins.
What was most noteworthy, and probably a first for an awards ceremony in the region, was the cancellation of Gold or Silver or Bronze trophies in several categories, and even the cancellation of some categories all together! Obviously, the jury wanted to 'raise the bar' for advertising awards events in the region.
To see the winners with images, audio and video of the ads visit Dubai Lynx Winners. Or download this PDF list of winners in every category.
The "Agency Of The Year" accolade was won by Saatchi & Saatchi Dubai.
Congratulations again to the winners and onto next years' Dubai Lynx, which will be expanded into an advertising festival- along the lines of Cannes International.
We already have many of the winners in the mediaME Creative Gallery, but we'll be adding all the others in the coming few days.
